About Heroes Agony for Dungeon Siege
A new threat appears out of nowhere, and the player has to choose one of three characters to oppose it.
Wild monster picks up where Dungeon Siege: Throne Agony left off: after the second cataclysm altered the world of Aranna.
It attack elves and humans, with the one behind this menace being known as the Black Druid.
The player has to face many different creatures before the Black Druid is located and killed.
It turns out that the true enemy are Vagar, a race of corrupted beings of whom the Black Druid was a member.
They serve their mistress, Malith, once a leader of Agallan giants, now a fallen creature who takes its powers from Throne of Agony.
The hero has to defeat Vagar, find the Agallan giants, and ultimately defeat Malith.
Finally, the player has to decide what to do with the Dungeon Siege: Heroes Agony, a sentient throne of darkness, as it could be either used, or destroyed.
The game starts with a choice between three characters.
Players can choose between the mage, fighter and ranger archetypes, and thankfully each plays very differently.
After choosing a character class, the game offers secondary choice involving pets.
Every bit as important as character selection, pets can greatly swing the flow of battle.
The developer made them an essential part of the experience and it's therefore a super important decision.
They all make sense, too: if a player choose to play a mage, for instance, their pet selection will include a total bruiser, like a giant goon made of a stone.
Conversely, should someone choose the brawny fighter, then their pet selection will include a mage for healing.
And it doesn't stop there. Each pet gains experience just like the main character, so that opens a new venue of customization.
Each pet, from the agile archer to the powerful mage, has their very own set of special attacks and abilities.
It's entirely up to the player which attributes and techniques to enhance, which is done through a simple point system, like in the average role-playing game.
Players acquire multiple pets, too. Eventually there's a small army of pets to choose from, each with individual strengths.
It's then a matter of choosing the right one for a specific situation, which adds a good deal of strategy to the game.
True, it would have been cool to have a greater selection of main characters, but the game makes up for it through the in-depth pet system.
